The official trailer for "Space Jam: A New Legacy" has arrived.

The sequel to the 1996 film starring NBA legend Michael Jordan, "Space Jam: A New Legacy" sees four-time MVP LeBron James team up with the Looney Tunes cast to rescue his son from a digital space.

"When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.'s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of basketball stars as you've never seen them before," the plot reads.

The film features a star-studded cast, including Don Cheadle, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson.

The trailer shows a scene in which Lola Bunny throws an alley-oop to LeBron, recreating an iconic photo from his career featuring Dwyane Wade.

"Space Jam: A New Legacy" is set to debut on July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.
